The Town of Centreville Council convened on September 18, 2025, to discuss various community initiatives and updates. The meeting began with a brief mention of the Council of Governments, which has postponed its meeting until next month.

Economic development was a significant focus of the meeting. A council member reported a productive meeting with the town clerk and manager regarding revitalization efforts for Main Street. They discussed the establishment of a Main Street board, which would integrate with the Centreville Economic Development Authority (CEDA). This initiative aims to attract candidates for CEDA and enhance community engagement in economic projects. The council member expressed optimism about upcoming developments and encouraged residents to consider joining the board.

The Park Advisory Board also provided updates, highlighting the completion of a planter box on Front Street scheduled for September 21. Additionally, they discussed the pavilion's role in managing stormwater runoff, emphasizing its environmental benefits. A recent fishing derby was noted as a successful event, despite lower participation, with positive feedback from attendees.

The Planning Commission reported on a request from the Board of Education to subdivide a two-acre lot adjacent to the new education building. This subdivision, approved with revisions, will allow for potential future development. The commission also recommended a variance for the reconstruction of a dilapidated carriage house on Watson Road, which will replicate the original structure using period-appropriate materials. This variance request will be reviewed by the Board of Appeals on the following Monday.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted ongoing efforts in economic development, community engagement, and planning initiatives, with several projects set to advance in the coming months. The council remains committed to fostering a vibrant and sustainable community in Centreville.
